Thanks, they're great. Are the cavalry sword- or rifle-armed?

The Turks:











A favourite range of mine.

And, Leon, any chance of the 'extras' making an appearance?

Yes... I'll check with Dave what's happening on those.

Wow, those look great and the Pendraken range seems to be quite comprehensive (one of the big plusses of Pendraken..eagerness to leave the beaten track from time to time). Really a shame that I haven't considered this theatre so far.
Thought about a BEF force after finishing the French but an EEF force would also be quite intriguing.

I can really recommend David Bullock's Allenby's War for wargames-friendly inspiration.

Very very nice work

I notice the infantry is from 158^th Brigade, the same Brigade I am doing Do you by any chance know what the unit flashes / patches are for the battalions in the brigade, particularly 1/1^st Herefordshire and 1/7 RWF?

My understanding is that the red W was the divisional sign for 53^rd Division in WWII, in WWI it used the three feathers of the Prince of Wales

I assume the cavalry on the left are Australian Light Horse, I am interested in any source for the white feathers 
My understanding was they were emu feathers so a grey/brown colour.

Again, very very nice work, please excuse my "button counting" but I am working on these units at the moment

[Leman]

Zippee and Paul - wonderful looking armies.

[Schlesien]

I have had no luck finding battalion flashes/patches.  I would like to put something on the helmets.

I'll have to look into the 53rd division again.

Cavalry in the photos are Australian Light Horse.  I may tone down the feathers and chop them off for the New Zealanders.

Thanks

I have managed to find the following for 158^th Brigade, the info on the Herefordshire battalion I got from the curator of their museum

1/5 RWF white / black
1/6 RWF red / black
1/7 RWF ?
1/1 Hereford green / black

On the hat these are rectangles divided horizontally, black at the top. On the shoulders rectangles divided vertically, black to the front

Definitely no feathers for the Kiwis, careful taking the feathers off I managed to accidentally behead one figure 

Again very nice figures and good clear informative labels, what rules do you use?
